And at six o'clock in the morning, before anybody had counted anything, I took one lantern off the wall and brought it indoors.
The last one on the whole route. The one that goes over Winky's door and says here, this is it, you're home. I cleaned it, because it had been in a damp box all season, and I set it on the table by the door where it would be ready.
Nobody saw me do it. I did not think it needed announcing. It was one lantern and I had it.
Then I had a very small nap, on purpose, so as to still be awake at midnight.
